Francis Ngannou is being very smart.
He made $10 Million from fighting Tyson Fury and another $20 Million from fighting Anthony Joshua. With a clean $30 million, regardless if he has to pay off trainers, managers and a few other leeches, he could very well be sleeping easy with $25 million in his bank account from only 2 boxing matches. Not to mention that he likely has a couple of millions (not much at all - likely $1-3 Million) from his time in the UFC.
Frankly, the man could retire at this point and never bother to fight other men in his underwear within the world of MMA. He could also just continue to take exhibition fights against guys like possibly Wilder, who is already going downhill and would stand to make another easy $5-10 Million. Ultimately, he could walk away now and be fine or even stick around boxing for a few other events (Wilder, Jake Paul etc) and still walk away with his faculties intact.
This man made the best decision by leaving the UFC, where he would still be making pennies and having to deal with Dana's bullshit. Now, he is known worldwide and rich.
